Fencing in Huntly

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually utilises more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
